If you know it or not America is at war. Socialists are on the march. One city after another have become breeding grounds for socialism. Minneapolis, New York City are now led by avowed Socialists. WAR IT IS. We are in a fight for our survival. There are no two ways about it.
For example, the POS, who almost became the V.P. has blamed Trump for the Somali Muslim gangs for stealing over $2,000,000,000 of taxpayers dollars. And where did that money go? To al-Shabaab, a terrorist network which is the breeding grounds for suicide bombers, anti-U.S. propaganda, and world-wide jihad. Tim Waltz turned a blind eye while governor of Minnesota, under his watch, while accepting the Somali vote, looked the other way. Omar, another Somali Sleaze Bag provided the cover for those involved.
Inside ‘Little Mogadishu’: Minnesota’s beleaguered Somali community under a cloud of fraud and Trump attacks
Fox News Digital visited ‘Little Mogadishu’ in Minneapolis to hear from Somali residents as national debates over integration and welfare fraud intensify
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Minnesota is home to the nation’s largest Somali community — a rapidly expanding Muslim population that has become a flashpoint in national debates over integration, welfare fraud and how the group is reshaping the state’s historically Scandinavian, Christian cultural landscape.
That scrutiny intensified this week after President Donald Trump blasted Somali Minnesotans as welfare abusers who have been raiding state coffers for years.
“I hear they ripped off — Somalians ripped off that state for billions of dollars, billions every year. . . . They contribute nothing,” Trump said, amid news that some Somalis were involved in bilking that state out of hundreds of millions of dollars in various fraud schemes.
“I don’t want them in our country, I’ll be honest with you. Somebody says, ‘Oh, that’s not politically correct.’ I don’t care. I don’t want them in our country. Their country’s no good for a reason. Their country stinks, and we don’t want them in our country.”

Trump and members of his administration have also accused the population of committing immigration fraud in order to bring friends and relatives to the U.S. and again claimed Rep. Ilhan Omar married her brother — a charge she has repeatedly denied.
For years, accusations of crime and gang activity — and the fact that a small cohort of Somali Minnesotans traveled overseas to join al-Shabaab — have cast a long shadow over the community’s efforts to assimilate.
A community under fire
Many Somali residents told Fox News Digital that they are angered that the entire community has been saddled with what they say is an unfair reputation, blaming a small minority of fraudsters and criminals for the negative attention against the group as a whole.
And now a massive COVID-19-era fraud scheme — which prosecutors say is the largest pandemic-era fraud case in U.S. history — has thrust the population back into the spotlight.
At first glance, the choice can seem perplexing: families from an East African nation putting down roots in a state known for subzero winters and harsh conditions.
But the Somali civil war forced thousands to flee their homeland beginning in the 1990s, with refugee resettlement and family reunification swelling the Somali population in Minnesota to roughly 80,000 to 100,000, depending on the estimate. One local leader told Fox News Digital the true number is likely closer to 160,000.
Like many immigrant groups before them, Somalis have brought their own customs and traditions — and have made their mark on the neighborhoods where they’ve settled.
